Review on 🌟 5 Deco Foil Transfer Sheets, 6" x 12", Gold by Katie Gonzalez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad results, lots of fiddling, no instructions

I bought this gold foil to print a quote on black cardstock. There are no instructions on the foil tube other than to tell you that it is fun and easy to use and visit the website that only shows the products that you can buy. I couldn't find any instructions. So I checked Youtube and found some independent reviewers who told me how to do it. It turns out that my standard laminator doesn't get hot enough. The first picture is the best I could get after running the paper through the laminator a few times without the protective "sleeve". So I tried running it through my laser printer with some gold foil (painting tape, if you will). To attempt). I first tried running three blank sheets through the printer to warm up the machine and then sent the quote twice. It's gotten a little better. I had heard that the smoother the paper the better the foil would transfer, so I decided to see how the foil would perform with the shiniest paper I had. The glossy white paper performed best, although still not 100%. Also, I could see a faint outline on the paper where the gold foil ended. I thought I could use this foil for greeting cards that I hand paint and sell, but ended up not wanting to. trying to sell cards with the quality of this transfer film product.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
